BULLION. It is understood that the Bank Dirtetors are not at all shaken by the renrnstrances of the leading city merchants against their newly adopted practice in bullion transactions, and that they intend to- persevere in the same - course. The vari.aus forms of excuse, however; offered for them out of doors, and among their own friends, would seem to inlimate that they are by no means easy under the at taea w hi c h h as b een made upon therm They tvill soon d ; scover, we a pp re h en d, t o their cost, that a great public duty, th at o f f a i rness an d i m p a rtiality in all theirdual_ ings, i s not to b e f u lfill e d b y an y shuffling or evasion, They have now to deal with a different set of men, and under very different circumstances from those in which they usually meet their own pro prietors, an d th e soun d ness of their case must eventually be brouglat to the test. One reason alleged in justification of their lia'ce rule was, that as the Bank were by far the largest purchasers for gold, often the only buyer at the fimed price of 31. 17s. 9d. the ounce standard, the broker's duties are sufficently remunerated by a commirsion of one eighth per cent.; - but the principal charge, as before stated referred to the transactions in silver bullion only, and in re spect to this the case is altogether different. The Panic are but occasionally the buyers, and on the average ao not purchase above one-sixth of the amount imported. But the, merchants who have signed the late address I,erfectly un derstand the meaning of the measure. :lavin g observed that business to some exte n t was pawin g into other chan nels, they bold for th' future the premium of per cent. in the sales made t o themselves in order to monopolize and control the whole market. This the merc h ants b el i eve to be injurious l o them, and th e y see k t o prevent it. Their cause is so clear and just that they must ultimately succeed. In er,nnexion with thi s su bj ect may be mentioned a diffico,aty of another kind into which the Bank have got thrraigh a deviation from one of their own rules in regard to gold bullion, hitherto held to be inviolate, and under circumstances which give some consistency to a charge which has been founded on it against . the directo rs ; of a prefe rence to certa i n mem b ers of their own body over other importers. The directors, it. seems, were under con tract with an individual, whose profession is that of as saying, melting, and refinin g gold, to take no bullion but that which passed throogh his hands, but it happening to suit the convenienc,..; of the directors of the Imperial Bra zilian Mining i;ompany, one of whom is also a director of the Bank of England, that an exception to this rule should be granted in favour of another respectable melter and refiner of gold, on his obtaining the stamp of the Royal Mint to his ingots, h was, to that extent, dispensed with. The only parties, however, who have hitherto employed the latter-to melt and refine their gold have been the Imperial Brazilian Alining Co., and this Company's gold, so melted and stamped, has always been purchased by the Bang. Another Com pany, also ca r r yi ng on m i n i ng operat i ons in Brazil, having accidentally h ear d o f thi s pract i ce, a d opte d it, and offered the gold so refined and stamped to the Bank. The gold was rejected. The directors, it seems, only intended to give this facility to one Company, and that a body in which one of their own members takes a prominent part. This is a more perplexing case for them, if possible, than that of the commission on bullion. Having deviated from a rule in favour of a particular party, to the prejudice of an indi vidraal with whom they had contracted for the careful exe cration of all business of that description, they find that others who have made the discovery seek to share the same advantages. They can bring proof that the Bank directors have so acted with others. Their difficulty tlven is, how to make a distinction between the two cases, so as to reject consistently the latter claim. The golr!., mean time, the fineness of which is not disputed, li'as in the Bullion-office, where it was left for inspection ; ihe Bank refuse to pur chase, the seller will not take it back, and demands his money. The attention of all who know the facts, and they are not a few, is, fixed on the Bank, waiting the re sult.--Times. GERMAN PAPERS. POLAND.—The plan of the new Polish loan of 150 mil lions of Polish florins is now in circulation. There are in it for the first nine, drawings four prizes, viz.—two of 150,000, one of 300,000, and one of 1,000,000 of Polish florins. In the lottery of the 10th year there are, among others, the following ten prizes, viz.—six of 25,000, two of 150,000, one of 2.50,000, and one of 1,200,000 Polish florins. The loan will be paid off in 1876. Ark the revenues of the king dom, particularly the duties .on salt and tobacco, and the lotteries (drawn in classes\ are pledged for the payment of this loan. His Majesty the Emperor has given a diamond ring with the Imperial, cypher to M. Joseph Epstein, banker at Warsaw, who 'with the banker Fyankel negociatcd the loan 431450 milli ons. RUSS/A.-The fete (on Saints' Day) of the Emperor was celebrated at St. Petersburgh on the 18th of December. An order of the day was published by which 25 Major- Genemls were promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Gene rals, and 6 Colonels to the rank of Major-Generals. The Council of the Empire has declared that the pre sent current value of the Russian gold and' silver rubles, still remain unchanged for the year 1836 ; the ruble in gold is to be received in the payment of taxes, &c. to the Crown, at 3 rubles 65 copecs, and paid at the same rate ; and the silver -ruble at 3 rubles 60 copecs, in notes. Ac cording to the latest Russian Court Calendar, the highest authority is the Council of the Empire, of which the actual Privy Councillor, Nowoselzoro is President, it is divided into five sections. 1. For the Laws ; President, General Wasziltschiknow. 2. For Military affairs ; President, General Folstoi. 3. For Civil and Ecclesiastical affairs, President Admiral Mordwinoro. 4. For Financial af fairs, President, the High Chamberlain Litta. 5. For the affairs of the kingdom of Poland, President, the Prince Paskewitsch. Members of the Council of the Em pire, who take their seats only in the plenary sittiugs, are His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael, Field Marshal Von den Sacleen, Generals Von Suchtelin, Rimsky, Korsakow, Labanow, Roslowski, Golitzin,Khienew, Pahlen, and Benkendorf ; Admirals Schirchkow and Greigh, and the Actual Privy-Councillor, Terterbuime; the Ministers of the Imperial Household ; Prince Wolkouski ; Post-office, Prince A. Lieven ; Foreign Affairs, Count Nesselrode ; Public-works, Count Toll ; War, Count Czarmischef ; Finance, Count Canerin ; Marine Admiral, Moller ; Public Instruction, Privy-Counsellor, Uwarrow (who is also Pre sident of the Academy of Sciences) ; of the Interior, the Secretary of State, Bludow ; of Justice, the Secretary of State, Daschkow ; Comptroller's Privy Counsellor, Khitrowo. CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 1 0.—Hafez Pacha, late Go vernor of Scutari, against whom Albania rose in insurrec tion, had an audi ence o f t h e S u l tan l ast week, and was very well received by him. He sets out to-day for his new Government of Kintaya, which, in the present state of affairs, is one of the most important Paschaliks in the kingdom. Essad Effendi, Ambassador to the Court of Persia, set out on Monday, with a numerous suite, for Tauris. Many advantages are expected from this mission. Essad Effendi is one of the most learned men in the empire, well versed in Persian and Ottoman literature. It is therefore ex pected, that on his return, he will bring important informa tion respecting the literature of Persia and the internal situation of the kingdom. The Pluto English steam-boat, which conveyed Lord Durham to Odessa, had the honour of being visited on its return by the Sultan, in the strictest incognito. It has been to Kiew, Sebastopol, Anapa, and the mouths of the Danube. The English cannot speak in sufficiently high- terms of the polite manner in which they were everywhere treated by the Russian authorities.—Frahkfort Paper (Supple ment) Gth Jan. BERLIN, DEe.2B.---Our booksellers have lately received a new rescript, by which all the writings of H. Heine, not only those he has already published, but all that he may publish in future, are laid under the same prohibition as the works of those authors who, notwithstanding the essential difference between them, are usually classed together under the name of the " Young Germany." While the French opposition paper s , in making the strongest remarks on those measures of the Germ an Governments, which the necessity of the case has cal i .ed for, we are here in anxious expecta tion of the resolution of the German Diet, which is said to have devoted its last sitting to the cause of German lite rature. It is believed that the general measures which may proceed from the Diet will be mild rather than rigorous, as every friend of legitimate order and public morality must be of opinion that literature must not be destroyed, by the barriers raised against its abuse. But the public will soon be at a loss to know who really belongs to this dreaded " "Young Germany," as Dr. Laube (one of the proscribed twriters) in the introduction to the Melternachtzeitung, the editorship of which he has resumed,- declares that lie has nothing to do with the " Young Germany," but will always combat it. Still less do we understand why Dr. Mendt is always classed with the " Young Germany," for he was the first who (in the October Number of his Literary Zodiac) published a very e9ergetic and learned refutation of Gutz ko yes Wally. Many copiesare in circulation here of the official report of the scandalous proceeding s of the pious sect called Mucker, in Konigsberg. A great part of this report consists of the depositions of M. Von Tippeliskirch, who could not endure the indecent mysteries of initiation into this sect, and, there fore, informed against it, and also of the declarations taken down in writing of several very distinguished persons in Konigsberg, who were known to have been formerly mem bers of the sect, and were judicially examined respecting their motives for receding from it. Since these astonishing discoveries, which have-excited universal indignation here, the pious sects and well-known pietists in Berlin, are very quiet, and our authorities, who display the most laudable vigilance, are said to have resolved to put an end to them.— Aremberg Correspondent, PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCA.. rt,nk Steck 0 1 , V4 14: India Stock - ''53% :1 per Cent Red. .. ..... -.....91 74 3474 jDitto Bonds 5 4 ; tri, I per Cent Cons P-. per Ccnt itni 1(0 Ohl Ammities ITtito HEIL ..

From this day Advertisements will be received at THE SUN Office up to Two o' Clock, and in serted without any extra charge. The extraor dinary speed of our Machinery, which prints at the rate of One Hundred Sheets per Minute, enables us to delay going to Press much later than other Papers ; and this extension of time will, we trust, be found occasionally very convenient for those who may be delayed in getting Advertisements ready for the usual time of the Evening Papers ) .._ NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. Those who wish to obtain the latest Parliamentary News, should give orders, without delay, to their respectiv• News-agents, to insure SECOND EDF TIONO OP THE SUN. A Second Edition will be given every Night during Parliament, containing the Debates in both Houses up to the Hour of Post ; and upon all extraordinary occasions, EXPRESS Editions will, as usual, be forwarded all over the Kingdom. The circulation of THE SUN - has Lreatly increased during the last year, upwards of rwo HUNDRED THOUSAND Copies having been sold more than during the previous year. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 niinntes past Three o'Cloch. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 12, 1836. As the Session of Parliament is now approaching, it becomes necessary that we should give the same advice to the Reformers, that the Times, with no great hopes of success, it should seem, has lately been giving to the Conservatives. To the former then, we say, be early and late at your 'posts—do not neglect an opportunity—do not throw a chance away— but contest resolutely every inch of ground, just as if you had gained nothing, but all was yet to be gained. But while we thus urge the Reformers to be active, are we therefore desirous that the Conserva tives should be indifferent ? Not a bit of it. We would address them in precisely the same language that our Tory Contemporary has addressed them. We would say to them, as Macbeth says to the rebellious,Thanes —come one, come all ; put forth your best efforts— assemble in your largest numbers—make your longest speeches—and divide with your strongest divisions ;—do this, gentlemen, and do more if you can ; for your energies will be attended with this happy effect--it will convince us of our strength, and your weakness—it will show us, in fact, not so much what you can do, as what you cannot do. Our triumph will not be complete, unless you strive your utmost to thwart it. It is a full, not an empty, bench of Conservatives, that we wish to con vince of their weakness. Attend, therefore, Tories attend, one and all, and thereby confer on us the last and greatest favour we require at your hands. Communications arc pouring in upon us from all quarters respecting the policy which our Government ought to adopt towards Russia. Were we to assume, as a test of public opinion, the number of letters we daily receive, advocating the adoption of measures for the re suscitation of Polish nationality, we should be led to suppose that ninety-nine persons out of every hundred in England would celebrate with public re joicings a declaration of war against the Imperial. Autocrat. We cannot give insertion to these letters. Their number renders it impossible ; and the few for which we could find space, arc but the re-echo of our own opinions, and that of our liberal contemporaries. We cannot believe that there exists the slightest ground for the tone of despondency which pervades several of these letters. The Whig Government was guilty of a grievous error in not assisting the Poles in 1830—this is confessed by the Government itself— but it is a mistake to suppose that it will persist in the erroneous course of " neutrality" which the Tories recommended to it as the perfection of British States manship. Much as we blame the conduct of the Whigs on that memorable occasion, we believe there is no dif ficulty whatever in finding many palliations for the dis torted view which they took of the state of Europe. They had promised Reform to the =A - O n • 13. e '''' - , rt.L, ar ~.) ,r , .. , ....r, _ . . r TIC nn. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, IS34i people of the United kingdoM-Lthey a N.; them=' selves assailed by the TOriiS - With 6, fierceireo, and a iancoui. kineiraMpletk 1 1 1;e slrtiorgles of political Oaf) ..—they dreaded that, by embarking in a war with Russia, the Reform Bill would be lost ; they themselves would be driven out of office by the en raged and disappointed people of Great Britain and Ireland ; and that the Tories, when in power, would undo all that they would attempt to do, by sacrificing Poland to the friendship of the AUTOCRAT. They believed it impossible, that with a physical revolution hr France, and a moral revolution in England, they could make head against the CZAR, and yet retain those places in the Councils of the SOVEREIGN necessary to the triumph of Reform. Undoubtedly there were reasonable grounds for such apprehensions. But the relative conditions of England and France have since undergone a very material change. LOUIS PIIILLIPPE is now firmly seated on the Throne, and Tory domination is at an end in England. Ministers have now nothing to fear from the hostility of borough mongers and the intrigues of the Court. The mis leading Journal of Europe will be henceforth saved the trouble of recording a dissolution of a popular Ministry, followed by a repetition of the memorable comment—" The QUEEN has done it all I" The KING may exercise his prerogative as frequently as he pleases, by the dissolution of the Whig Cabinet; but it will be only to repeat the exercise of it in the recal of his discarded Ministers. In •fact, such an exercise of the prerogative would rather remind the people of the old nursery rhyme— Fly away Jack, Fly away Gill ; Come back Jack, Come back Gill, than impress them with any overpowering apprehen sion of a frequent recourse to the magic wand of kingly power. It is rather to show the constancy with which Russia has persevered in one line of policy—to expose the part which she has uniformly taken in the affairs of Western Europe—to make public the sentiments which she entertains towards England, than from its connection with our present relations with Russia, that we - publish the copy of a despatch from Count Pozzo DI BoRGO to the Russian Government in 1826, which will be found in another column, copied from the sixth Number of the Portfolio. Russia at that time had more business on her hands than she is ever likely to have again. During the six preceding years the whole of the Continent was agitated with revolutionary struggles, and the attempts of the people to rid themselves of the tyranny of absolute Monarchy. In 1820 the revolution in Spain under the auspices of QUIROGA, RIEGO, and MINA ; the revolution in Portugal commenced by Don BERNARDO DE SEPULVEDO; the revolt of the States of Mexico and Peru ; the revolution in Naples, put down by the arms of Austria and Russia ; the establishment of Legis lative Chambers in the Grand Duchy of Hesse ; and the concessions made to his people by the King of SAXONY, well nigh drove the Russian Cabinet to dis traction. The forced resignation of the Grand Duke of MODENA the year following, and the impediments thrown in the way of Russian intrigue at the Con gress of Verona, did not tend to reconcile her with the aspect of future affairs. The accession of Cardinal DELLA GENOA to the Popedom, on the demise of Pius VII. in 1823, and the success of the .French in Spain, was subsequently counterbalanced, in the opinion of Russia, by the change of public feeling in England and France consequent upon the death of Lard CASTLEREAGH and Louis XVIII. The failure of the Conference of the Plenipotentiaries at Johannisberg ; the determina tion of England to uphold the Regency in Portugal in the name, and on behalf of, Donna MARIA ; the inability of FERDINAND VII. to retard the progress of liberalism in Spain; and the rejection of the law for subjecting the French press to a more rigid censor ship, alarmed and enraged Russia to the very last de gree. 'We see clearly from this despatch that Russia was at the bottom of every intrigue for the suppression of political liberty on the Con tinent. She it was who prompted the infamous sister of FERDINAND to place her darling Don Ml ' GUEL on the throne' of her illustrious niece—she it was who counselled Lours XVIII. to send a French army into Spain, to enable a tyrant, as contemptible as he was wicked, to abrogate those liberties of his people which he had solemnly sworn to maintain—she it was who counter-revolutionized Italy, and insisted that Austria should establish a Censorship of the Press in the Swiss Cantons. The conquests of Russia were not confined to the Continent. The notorious Six Acts were among the indirect favours which her influence with CASTLEREAGII enabled her to confer upon England. After labours so vast, and in a great measure so thankless, the vexation of M. DI BORGO ought not to excite any surprise. England was then about to hurl down a temple, Which, with infinite cost and trouble, Russia had reared to the genius of despotism. The haste made by England to deliver Portugal proved she was in cattiest. Perhaps there never was an example of greater celerity in the movements of a Government. On the 11th December, Lord BATHuRST in the House of Peers, and Mr. CANNING in the Commons, moved the Address relative to Portugal ; and on the 25th of the same month a British fleet anchored in the Tagus I If the people will have but a little patience, we promise them that the Government will do its duty. It is neither unmindful of its own honour, nor igno rant of the prevailing feeling in the country. But, as Mr. CANNING said, in 1826, the next war in Europe will be a war of opinion ; and it is therefore necessary that its object be fully ascertained, previous to its commencement. The restoration of Poland must be complete, so as to obviate the necessity of perpetual interference on the part of England and France. We believe, that though some delay, judged by the Government actually necessary, may take place, public feeling is fully ripe for the deliverance of Po land. The great difficulty is to arrange preliminaries with France, bound by every tie of honour, duty, and interest, to act as the ally of Great Britain. We have received German Papers of the latest dates. Extracts from them are given in another co lumn. It will be seen from them that the King of PRUSSIA is resolved to restrict the Press within such limits as suit the taste of his Imperial Majesty the CZAR. A list of the names of the Cabinet of the Russian empire, and the principal Councillors, is given in our extracts. The Paris Papers of Sunday have been received. The Chamber of Peers sat on Saturday in the exercise of its criminal jurisdiction, when it passed sen tences on a considerable number of prisoners of the ca tegories of Marseilles and Paris. As many of those upon whom the Noble Peers passed sentence had pre viously absconded, and have since contrived to elude the vigilance of the police, it may be some time before the sentences are carried into execution. . There is little to interest an English reader in these Journals, with the exception of some extracts which are given in another part of The Sun. from its chief who is PARIS, DEC. 10.---Th e jlfoniteur du Commerce has re ceivedat Madrid, the following simply thre- .7 information • „ editor, Iv m m prohteins of M. en Izabal are itions of the political, moral, irreparable coral and - Die three - _oriel re-organisation of Spain, namely • 1, Reconciliation between the Spanish Itherals i to . - - Whatever party they .may belting, proVided that their opi nion for its basis; is 4 1 1:4 kiStablishtnkit of order and Jegal authority in all Spain, and the union of all round 11l tioili.gtitittional throne.

DINNER AT RAMSGATE TO SIR JOHN CONROY AND THE DEAN OF CHESTER. RAMSGATE Jay 11. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria having fixed their departure from hence for Tuesday, the 12th inst., several Gentlemen of the town, being very de sirous of expressing their sense of the honour which have been conferred upon Ramsgate by the long visit of their Royal Highnesses, and their deep gratitude for her numberless act of charity, kindness, and benevolence, gave an invitation to S John Conroy and the very Reverend the Dean of Chestet the Preceptor of the Princes, to dine at the Albion Hotel, on Saturday last. At six o'clock, about forty gentlemen sat down to a most excellent dinner, provided by Mrs. Bear, upon only one day's notice, the Chair being filled by j A. WARRE, Esq. After the healths of " The King," " Queen," " Duchess of Kent," " Princess Victoria," " Archbishop of Canterbury," and the " Clergy," &c.. had been drunk, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Healths of Sir John Conroy and the Dean of Chester," with whose presence they were then honoured. In returning thanks, Sir JOHN CONROY said, " That the kind invitation to meet the present company was received by the Dean of Chester and by himself as it was evidently intended ; viz., as a medium of conveying to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent their gratitude for, and acknowledgment of, the honour conferred upon the town by the long visit of her Royal Highness and the Princess. The partiality of the Dtichess for this town was of long standing. When her Royal Highness came to Ramsgate in 1822, comparatively a stranger to this country, after a short union with the late lamented Duke, the reception she then experienced was gratifying in the extreme, and the kind and affectionate manner with which the Princess Victoria and herself were greeted here, on their arrival in the autumn, made an impression which will never be effaced. During her residence here, 'Wins been the anxious wish and endeavour of her Royal Highness to be useful to the cause of charity and benevolence, by contributing to the re spective funds of the several institutions, and her Royal High ness will never cease to feel a lively interest in every thing relating to the town. In the name of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, he begged to propose— ' Prosperity to the Town of 'Ramsgate.'," A fine toned organ has been erected in St. George's Church in this parish, during the last week, which was yesterday played for the first time by Mr. W. H. Phipps, who has been appointed organist by the Trustees. An excellent Ser mon was preached on the occasion by the Rev. Mr. Hodgson, Vicar of St. Peter's, Thanet, from Psalm 145, T. 10. " All thy works praise Thee, 0 Lord, and thy Saints give thanks unto Thee." The instrument having been purchased by vo luntary subscription, a collection was afterwards made at the doors in aid of the funds, at which 241. 12s. were received. This day at one o'clock their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria walked out on the Pier for some time, when they embarked in a boat and were rowed across the harbour, landinr , at the steps which have lately been added at the centre part of b the East Pier. On stepping out of the boat the Duchess was graciously pleased to command that the steps be hereafter called " Victoria Landing-place. "" At this moment a gay scene presented itself ; the pier,.was thronged with visitors, who loudly cheered the Royal party. A royal salute was fired from the pier guns, and the Light ning, City of London, and Ramsgate steam-packets, toge ther with the several vessels in the harbour, hoisted their co lours. Their Royal Highnesses afterwards walked on the western pier for some time, when they drove home about three o'clock. We are happy to say that the Princess looks ex tremely well.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have again to notice a very dull morning both for domestic and foreign intelligence, with very few arrivals—only a French mail, and ship-letters from the East of old dates. Two American packets are said to be off Liverpool—an old one of the date of the 16th ult., and the Virginia of the 24th, two clays later than previously received. It is stated that a new coin is in preparation, which will con sist of two-penny, three-penny, and four-penny silver pieces;. as well as gold tokens of five shillings, to the amount of 20,0001., which will be issued in a few days. Other measures are also in contemplation to render the currency more perfect in future. It is likewise stated that the Bank Directors are not intimi dated by the remonstrances of the city merchants against their new system in the bullion transactions, and that they intend to continue the newly adopted plan.

SANTIS ~ ....,,....... ~.. ..,....._.., Ills Honour the MirrEu of the Ilei.i.s gave jud g ment this tnirirni,kt in this case, in which the bill was filed by the plain tiff, the qt.ltilt of a person named Ryland, for the purpose of having it declared by' !lic Court that she was entitled to certain sums in the funds. The defens4..nts were the' assignees of the late husband of Mrs. Ryland, - who, pre, -.13 to his death; had' become bankrupt, fifid they contended they were en h; to the funds in question. The plaintiff claimed the money by sUrtitorship, as never having been received into possession by Het late husband. His Honour was of opinion the plaintiff *as clearly eutitled; and decreed accordingly. - ___ ......—., THE SOLICITORAE/ONEfiliL V. THE AND CORPORATION RATH. Thin *Pi an infermaticin filed for the due administration of. certain charity tiftirqtty giiren to the Corporation of Bath by Edward the Sixth. Out tirOeteds of the property the Corporation were to find a schoolmaster fit ii ilonaal stipend of 101., and also to relieve ten poor persons - of ti-id town and neighbourhood of Bath. Some time since it was alleged that the school, of which the Master was at the head, had been ne glected, that no poor person had received relief for some time, that the Corporation had mixed the property with its own, so as to render it almost impossible to distinguish it, that they had received large tines for the renewal of leases of the charity property, which they had devoted to their own purposes ; and that they had otherwise mismanaged the charity property. An information was at that time filed, under which the Corporation were directed to Set out the lands belonging to the charity, and to state what sums bad received in respect of re newals, under the forfeiture of s,6ittsif This decree was never acted upon, and afterwards the present iiifftrtnation was flied, gpent the defendants at the time having stated, that they !IEIGI more than the sums they had received for fines, in buii, 4 j l g: connected with the charity. . His HONOUR this morning gave judgment, directing a refe rence to the Master, to enquire of what the charity property originally consisted, what sums had been received by the Cor poration for the renewal of leases of the charity property ; and for a scheme for t e futurel application of the charity. The Master to be at liberty to state special circumstances. CHERRY V. MOTT. The question in this case arose under the following codicil to the will of a person named Benjamin Cherry Whereas it is my intention, if it please God to restore me to health, to see the Governors of Christ's Hospital, and contract with them for the perpetual presentation of the son of a freanan of the town of Hertford, and if I should not live, I beg they do so out of my property." The testator died without entering into the contract, and the question was, whether the legacy was not void? The Governors of Christ's Hospital refused to receive the sum offered, and it was contended the legacy was Void under the Statute of Mortmain. His HONOUR this morning gave judgment, declaring his opi nion to be, that the legacy was altogether void. THE BRIDGEWATER TREATISES.—KIRBY V. PICKERING. In this case an injunction had been obtained some time since by the plaintiff against the defendant, restraining him from publishing more than 2,000 copies of the Treatises, written by plaintiff, under the direction of the Royal Society, pursuant to the will of the late Duk of Bridgewater. It appeared from the statements of the plaintiff that he had agreed with the defen dant, who is a bookseller in Chancery-lane, to publish 2,000 copies ; he had, however, taken upon himself to publish 5,000, to restrain him from doing which was the object of the in junction. Mr. BICKERSTETII this morning, on the coming in of the defendant's answer, applied for the dissolution of the injunc tion, that answer swearing that the plaintiff had made a sub sequent verbal agreement with the defendant, allowing him to publish 5,000 copies. Mr. PEMBERTON said, it was apparent there was some mis understanding somewhere. The MASTER of the RoI,Ls said he had read the affidavits and answer, and after doing so, he thought that the better thing for both parties would be to make some a rran g ement without the further interposition of the Court. It was clear both parties thought they had been doing what was right. . It was ultimately agreed that the injunction should be dis solved, and that the matter in dispute should be referred to a literary gentleman. KING'S ji'ENCIL--(THIS DAY.) TAYLOR V. DEVEY AND GRAIIAM. This was an action of trespass to try the right of the parish officers of St. Bride's, Fleet-street, to pass through the plain tiff's house in their triennial perambulation of the boundaries of that parish. The case was tried before Lord Denman, at the sittings at Guildhall, on the 14th December last, when a verdict was had for the defendants, thereby establishing the right of the parish officers to pass through the defendant's house. Mr. CRESWELL now moved for a rule to shew cause why the verdict for the defendants should not be set aside and a new trial had, on the ground of misdirection ; or, if the Court was of opinion that he was not entitled to a rule on that ground, then that a verdict should be entered for the plaintiff, non ob stante veredicto. _ _ Lord DENMAN—I don't think, Mr. Creswell, you can com plain of misdirection. You had all the advantage of any di rection given to the Jury. Mr. CRESWELL had not had the advantage of hearing the charge of the Learned Judge, but he had been informed that his Lordship, in addressing the Jury, had stated that reputa tion would not be evidence in such a case. There was this peculiarity in the case, that the line of the house was not the boundary of the parish ; nor was it, in fact, the nearest point to the boundary that could be taken. On this ground he con tended that evidence of the custom should have been admis sible. The second point upon which he relied, and on which Ile would contend that the plaintiff was entitled to judgment non obstante veredicto, was, that in their plea the defend nts had alleged that they were in their perambulations, and it must be taken to be conceded that they were on the boundary, or, if not, the plaintiff was clearly entitled to a verdict ; but the plea does not allege that they were on the boundary line, nor does it allege that it was necessary for them to take that line. If, on the Other hand, the plea is construed to mean that they were on the boundary line, then the evidence produced at the time negatived that plea, and the plaintiff was entitled to a new trial, such plea not having been made out. On these grounds he contended that he was, clearly entitled to a rule in the alternative. COURT—You may take a rule generally. THE KING V. WARD. This was an indictment for a nuisance, preferred by the Corporation of Newport, Isle of Wight, against the defendant for having erected a sham pier at Cowes, on the river Me dura, which, it was alleged, obstructed the navigation of the river. The case was tried before Lord Denman, at the Win chester Summer Assizes, 1834, and the Jury returned a spe cial verdict, that the pier or wharf in question was a nuisance ; but that the inconvenience was counter-balanced by the public benefit derived from the pier. A rule was subsequently moved for by Sir William Follett, on the part of the defendant, to enter a verdict of Not Guilty, on the ground that the finding of the Jury was equivalent to a verdict of acquittal. Lord DENMAN now gave the judgment of the Court. The case mainly relied on by the defendant, was that of the King v. Russell, in which Lord Tenterden was of opinion, that a verdict of that nature was equivalent to an acquittal ; but Mr. Justice Littledale, who was present on the occasion and had given no opinion, was now of opinion that that rule should not prevail. Many evils would arise from capitalists and adven turers being allowed to interfere with kriown public rights, and then' taking the opinion of a Jury upon the counterbalancing advantage of the improvements effected by their speculations, while no inconvenience could result from abiding by the oppo site principle; because all great and acknowledged improve ments would soon bring about a change in the law, reserving a reasonable compensation to the parties whose rights were affected. On these grounds, the Court was of opinion that the verdict of the Jury did not entitle the defendant to an ac quittal, and consequently the rule must be discharged.—Rule discharged. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY). SIRONI U. THE EXECUTORS OF KIRKMAN. Mr. CRESWELL moved to set aside the verdict for the de fendant, which was obtained in this case at the London Sit ting! after term. The action was brought to recover the sum of 40/. from the executors of Mr. Kirkman, a celebrated pianoforte-maker, upon an agreement between him and the plaintiff, dated in October, 1814, wherein the deceasd ac knowledged the receipt of a pianoforte value 401. to be al lowed to the plaintiff on his return to England in the pur chase of another pianoforte, which the plaintiff agreed to make. The plaintiff alleged that he had never been in Eng land till March, 1834, when when he found Mr. Kirkman had been dead since 1830, and as the executors had no pianofortes he brought the action for the recovery of the money. On the trial, the deceased's handwriting was proved by one of his sons, which was the case for the plaintiff. The defendants had pleaded a satisfaction of the contract by the sale of a pianoforte for 75/., and the Counsel at the trial wished to put in the books, but the plaintiff's Counsel objected to them, and it was held good. He • therefore addressed the jury upon the improbability of a person who was only engaged in the Orchestra at the Opera sleeping over his right to 401. for 20 years, and they found for him. Mr. CRESSWfLL now moved to set the verdict aside upon the ground that the pleas put upon the record were not made out, and that therefore the verdict ought not to stand.—Rule Nisi granted. The Court then proceeded to the new trial paper, all the morning, with the case " James and others, assignees, v. Griffin," which was part heard last term. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Baron Bolland is unable to attend the Court in consequence of ill health. UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS. Last night a public meeting, convened by the Radical As sociation, took place at the Bazaar, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square, to pass resolutions to promote the circulation of cheap knowledge, and to adopt a petition to the House of Commons, for a repeal of the stamp duties on newspapers. Mr. F. O'CONNOR having been called to the Chair, on the motion of Mr. Waldon, opened the business of the meeting; observing that the press was of the highest importance to the people. It was also, important that it should be free ; but at present their rights were seriously impeded by the efforts of a monopolizing press. Freedom did not experience such attacks from any ,other quarter. The stamp was the shackle, and he denied the right of the rich to indulge in newspapers, at so serious a cost as that of deprivation on the part of the poor. If the stamp was off; the country would be regulated by one political time-piece ; there would not be the disunion that now existed, disunion promoted by the monopoly continued in stamped newspapers, Was it any wonder, then, that the tat on knowledge was odious to the people? Lord Spencer heck held the sound principle, that the unpopularity of a tax was a sufficient ground for its repeal."--( Hear, Atm) And was there not that ground for repealieg this.tax—(Cheers)—incle pendently of its manifest injustice and partiality ?—( Continued cheers.) Without proposing anything like physical force, he was prepared to conteed that so unjust a law ought to be re sisted and he would remind some per Sons that the efforts to. •,vithhold the means of promulgating public opinionS had cost a neighbouring country two or three revolutions. But cer tainly, he repeated, if the unpopularity' of a tax were sufficient for repeal, here there was ample ground enough-4116110 For ;:!tat repeal he had struggled, and for it he would continue to st tr -411 the newspaper stamp was wholly and entirely repealed, (Loud cheers.) He would resist the tax by every pe and .in so doing he should consid er th a t he was peiforming a . vit :uous act.- 7 ( Cheers )As the P ar li amen t was about to assemble, raiab practicable e L r' ne 2.. 5 h. ti as all ought to exert them se lv es , he hoped that every Radical /I: sociation in the kingdom w o uld, adopt resolutions and petitions fur the total repeal of th e news . paper stamp. There must be a long 011, a strong pull, and a pull altogether.—( Loud cheers.) Mr. dessenn, the Secretary, then read letters from gentle - men 0 whom applications had been made to attend this meet ing, but eTho could not' attend. Mr. SAVAGE stated that some resolutions had been prepared, and he read and moved them ; they were to the effect, that the continuation of the duty on newspapers, and the means adopted to enforce that duty, were cruel, unjust, and oppres-; sive ; and that, in the opinion of the meeting, more moral guilt was incurred by those who enforced the duty than by those who violated the law, &c. These resolutions had his decided approbation. Mr. CLEAVE also supported the resolutions, and said, that if the people would support the publishers of unstemped news papers, he could declare that they would perievere in their efforts to promo the repeal. He would devote himself, be the consequences witet they might, to the destruction of this edieui tax—(Loud cheer's)—and he knew that if they whii were embarked in this undo taking were supported by . the people, success would be the r e s e . l l.—(Cheers.) flaying no:- ticed some strong and affecting instaoces of the consequences of enforcing this duty, in different parts of the country, he adverted to the proceedings at Bow-street Police Office, on Saturday. As to the proceeding now adoptied by the Go vernment, he could only say that, if any one stopped him when he had bundles of papers, and attempted to take them away from him, he should resist to his utmost. _ _ Mr. WARBURTON also spoke strongly in support of the re solutions. Mr. M'CoNNELL said, that the City officer who had imposed ort him the duty of making these seizures, had declared to a person then present at the meeting, that he was ashamed of the duty in which lie was engaged. Mi% BELL spoLe strongly in support of the resolutions. Ho ridiculed the idea tii,?t the proceedings were to vindicate the law, as there were now many most important laws which, though unrepealed, were unenforced--that, for instance, de claring that no placema.n or pensioner should have a seat in the House of Commons. If the Whigs wished to vindicate the laws, why did they not enforce all the lams ? As to not break ing the law, be should like to know how the poor of any coun try had ever got rid of any bad law without resisting it. If the persons in power were really desirous of promoting the benefits of the people, be would ask, would they give them the elective franchise ? No, not they. Would they, then, allow the people to be represented through an unstamped, and, con sequently, a free press ? No, not they. Now, universal suf frage and an unstamped press, he deemed to be convertible terms. The people had yet to struggle for their rights; they must take thole ground, and he thought that ground ought ,to be the demand for an unstamped press.—( Hear.) He con fessed that he lived but for the purpose of destroying the news paper stamp.—( Cheers. ) Mr. MURPHY said that the resolutions had his most decided concurrence. As to the contest now carrying on, if the public would only do their duty, the unstamped must prosper. The only way to get rid of a bad law was to resist it..-,-( Cheers.) After some further speaking the resolutions were put and carried, and the meeting separated, thanks having been voted to Mr. O'Connor. CONSISTENCY Or THE « TIMES." (From the Morning Chronicle.) The impudence of the Times so far exceeds any thing in the history of journalism, in thi; or any other country, that we question whether, if an organ were established for the express purpose of disseoinating lies, it could at all equal our worthy contemporary. On Tuesday last that journal had the audacity to declare— " We have never varied from a single principle which we ever avowed. The Whigs have become revolutionary De structives, and we abjure them." The most stupid reader of the Times must have; stared as he read this bouncer. What single principle did that paper ever avow from wh.sch it has not varied ? In the very article which contained this precious declaration, the Times observes Lord John Russell states, or rather threatens, that business of great importance' will be at once hrought for ward. This is altogether inevitable. When the existence of a Ministry is identified with the ruin of the Church, the prostration of the Crown, and the dissolution of- the Duo , pire, it needs no assurance from the Leader of the Housed Commons, to persuade us, that if the ensuing King's Speech be any index whatever of the acts which are meditated by his Ministers, it must be not only the most important, but the most awful and appalling, that ever was delivered in the name of a British Sovereign." Wlio could believe that the • journal which thus boasts of its undeviating adherence to principle, and of its apprehension for the Church, should have itself have held the following language " If, however, the specific plan to be recommended by Ministers shall contemplate nothing beyond the maintenance of the Established Church, we fear that they lay the ground work of inculculable discontent and trouble. The abolition of tithe will go brit lithe way towards the satisfaction of the people of Ireland; f a substitute for tithe, applicable ex clusively to the same i nv idi ous en d, v iz. the sub sis t ence of an alien priesthood, s h ou ld b e t h e i m mediate c onsequence ."-- Times, Saturday, March 10, 1832, le • " According to Mr. Stanley himself, the evil is actual and present-- - -viz., the beggared state of thee Established Clergy ; and for this evil he tenders a mockery by way of relief--the enlargement of a law which no legal power can execute. Mr. Stanley himself admits that with the amount of revenue hitherto enjoyed by the Church, ho does not design to meddle through the operation of the measures now deve loped. We tell him, then, that on such admission his whole project stands self-condemned, inasmuch as any new scheme for confirming to the Church the inignense and unjustifiable income which she has hereto fore appropriated, must, if effec tual as an instrument of legal torture, tend still more to spread that disorganization of society,' of which the Right Honourable Gentlem an comp l a i ns : while, if inefficacious, it will but add cont emp t f or legislative authority to hatred of its objects."—.Times, July 7, 1832. THEATRES. OLYMPIC. An agreeable trifle, called One Hour; a Carnival Ball, was produced at this house last night. Tire scene was laid at Naples, whither Mr. Charles Swiftly has pursued Mrs. Bevil, and her two nieces, who left Florence for !lio purpose of avoiding. him., The aunt has no objection to re,leive Mr. Swiftly as the lover of 'one of her nieces, but Mr. Swiftly, with provoking pertinacity,' takes every opportunity of oaking love to the other, who, like a prudent young lady, has already clandestinely provided herself with a husband, and cann therefore, even in the absence of the first, think of taking a se cond—partly we presume out of a duo respect to that law against bigamy which, with the brutality characteristic of the laws made by our fusty old ancestors, declares such a proceed ing to be an " instigation of the devil," and " against the form of the statute in such case made and provided." Her great diffi culty, however, is how to repulse such a persevering rattle-pated madcap. Her husband has gone to England to seek the forgive ness of her parents, and in his absence it is deemed pru dent to conceal their marriage. " What a pity," exclaims Mrs. Bevil to her married niece, Mrs Smith, whilst talking over their dilemma, " that we could not persuade Swiftly to transfer his attention from you to your pretty cousin, Miss Dalton. In this aunt=like suggestion the obedient married niece concurs, nor does the single one seem by any means in clined to imitate the bad example of our first female pi‘ogcni tor. In short she enters heartily into the project, and Mr. Swiftly having solicited of the aunt one hour's interview w.'th her niece, without naming which niece, it is decided that Miss Dalton should receive him instead of her cousin. Swiftly is accordingly introduced, and his first disappointment, his em barrassment and impatience, and the display of Miss Dalton's attractions, by which he is subsequently gradually conquered, may be easily imagined when we state that Charles Matthews enacted Swiftly, and Madame Vestris Miss Dalton. We need scarcely say that the scene was admirably performed. Some interest was occasioned by Matthews, who offered to give Ma dame Vestris a lesson in singing, with a guitar accompaniment, breaking down in the middle of the air, and which, notwith standing the encouragement of the audience, he was unable to get through.. The ball scene is a beautiful one. The dresses of the characters splendid, and the dancing elegant, Mathews, air with great spirit, and danced the tarant e ll a w ith Mi ss Fitz to make amends for his first failure, sang a b u ff o N ea p o lit a n waiter admirably. Madame Vestris sang and acted with her usual vivacity and archness. .ROYAL S TAND A RD. This theatre, under the sole management of Miss Byron, re-opened last night, having been completely refitted and de corated during its short close. The company is efficient, and Miss Byron herself appeared with great eclat.
